VISTA – Computer Vision Innovations for Safe Traffic

Research activities

Expected impactsimp

The impacts on the final beneficiaries are:

• Development of automotive industry sector and higher employment.

• Safer traffic for drivers and pedestrians.

• Reduced environmental pollution.

• Reduced expenses for maintenance and fixing of traffic accident-related damages.

Funding Science and Innovation Investment Fund Grant Scheme

Automatic white balance and brightness adjustment

Lane detection and recognition

The developed methods for lane detection use stereoscopic 3D structure and motion estimation in order to improve the performance. 3D reconstruction can be also used for obstacle detection.

Lane detection and obstacle detection from stereo reconstruction

Traffic sign detection and recognition

Traffic sign recognition system can be used for driver assistance by reminding the driver or generating a warning if necessary. It can be also used for automated inspection of the state of traffic infrastructure, or as an additional source of information for autonomous navigation.

Traffic sign detection and recognition

Moving objects detection for collision warning

Development of robust algorithms for detecting moving objects based on laser range sensor scans or omnidirectional camera acquisition. The results can be used in to inform the driver about potential collisions.

Automatic driver fatigue monitoring

The aim of this task is to develop a reliable real-time system for monitoring driver fatigue and drowsiness in order to reduce the number of traffic accidents.

Facial features retrieved by supervised gradient descent method

Objectives• Strengthening of technology transfer and

commercialization capacities of partner HEIs.

• Transfer of existing computer vision applications from HEIs to SMEs in the automotive industry sector.

• Developing new traffic- and transport-related computer vision applications with commercial potential in collaboration with SMEs in the automotive industry sector.

Headlight detection in urban and rural driving conditions.

Methodology for testing and evaluation

Research goals:• definition of experiments which will be used for

testing and evaluation of the developed driver assistance systems

• development of a system which uses only one video camera for vehicle detection and tracking on multiple road lanes; and computation of road traffic parameters (traffic flow, origin-destination matrices, vehicle classification, etc.)

Automatic headlight detection

Automatic vehicle headlight detection and tracking is the base for the two following systems: automatic high-beam control and forward collision warning system.

Detecting roadside vegetation can be used for increasing traffic safety (detecting vegetation that is occluding traffic lights or traffic signs), aiding autonomous vehicles in off-road navigation, and also for guiding service vehicles in roadside maintenance tasks.
